People say that the DPF on my car is the type that needs EOLYS176 Fluid

But according to the etis website on the service check sheets :-

Diesel particulate filter additiveRefill with EOLYS176 and reset according to TIS service instructions - 1.6/2.0 Duratorq-TDCi with EURO IV Emission and DPF, if applicable (LTS 23 563 4)
So Does that mean that all Stage V focus tdci's have the maintenance free dpf.

Phone up a Ford parts department, give em your Vehicle Identification Number, they will be able to put you out of your misery. But if misery to you is having a renewable DPF requiring the eloys top up, then I'd put money on it that your going to remain miserable

Ignoring you, surely not me James, I'm not counting but I'm sure I've answered three PM's on the subject of..... have I got a renewable DPF.... in the last few days

Iím silently waiting in anticipation for the out come

Because according to Ford Etis my June 2010 manufactured Ford Focus 1.6TDCi also has Stage V emissions,

and after reading all the bad vibes about the eloys fluid i hope my DPF is immortal too.

HiIam not miserable I promise lolI know i have asked you with three messages about dpf/refil fluid etcIam wondering what other people have to say. No hard feelings guys

Well Jamie PM'ed me his VIN, I rang our freindley Ford Dealer Parts Desk, he looked it up, then went and spoke to a technician. and come back with an answer.

And guess what, it's eat my hat time Oh your a set of happy bunnies, you have the newer non maintenance DPF. So I asked Andy [because I did not want 20 Vin's in my PM box ] What denotes it's the newer DPf, now he thought it must be the Stage V Emissions Designation.[he was not sure hence he went and asked a techi which one it was, and he said he had worked on a V emissions one and it did not need the eloy's additive, nor was there provision for it. So there you go, like I said sorted with a phone call.........simples
